French esports organisation Team Vitality has announced a partnership with Counter-Strike case opening platform Skin.Club.
The deal will see the platform become the official case-opening skin partner of the organisation.
As a partner of Team Vitality, Skin.Club‘s logo will feature on the jerseys of the organisation’s Counter-Strike 2 roster as of IEM Cologne, taking place from August 7th to 18th.
In addition to jersey space, Team Vitality and Skin.Club will collaborate on a variety of activations ranging from exclusive content to ‘memorable experiences’ for fans of the organisation. According to a release, the activations will take place at in-person events and Team Vitality’s V.Hive app.
The partnership marks the first time Skin.Club has partnered with an esports organisation. In 2023, the platform collaborated with Danish Counter-Strike player Finn ‘karrigan’ Andersen. The platform provides Counter-Strike players with an alternative method to acquire in-game skins. Users can open cases and battle other users to win skins based on their value.
For Team Vitality, Skin.Club becomes the 15th partner of the organisation. It joins the likes of esports odds provider Abios, South Korean car manufacturer KIA, and international supermarket chain ALDI on its roster.
Nicolas Maurer, Co-founder and CEO of Team Vitality, spoke on the deal: “We are excited to welcome Skin.Club as a new partner of the Team Vitality family.
“As one of the top CS teams globally, we are dedicated to enhancing the global CS2 ecosystem through providing our fans and all gamers with unparalleled content activations.”
